    from what I understand getting her out of the house would be an achievement. But man I’d happily take the kids if it meant they could clean the house or something! I’m not one for judging, i’ve got a toddler I know its hard and our place is frequently a mess too. But theirs looks like the start of a hoarders episode. Trouble is their kid doesnt listen to them, so theres no chance I’m looking after a kid that cant/wont listen to me.

      That’s incredibly sad. I hope she gets the help she needs because that’s no way to live.

        yeah I hope so. But I dont think theres a diplomatic way to say “Hey I see you guys are struggling, I think maybe applying X Y and Z might help a bit” without being sucked in.

          Yep. You’ll either get told EVERYTHING or told to mind your own business.

          They seem like the type of couple that don’t think things out enough. Something new becomes something old very fast. Never content.

          You’re doing the right thing by staying out of it, as hard as it may be.

            Cheers, I think I was looking for that even if I didnt know it.

              Well, you help a mate out. You can’t manage their life for them. You’ve got your own household. Cheers.

      oh god, that’s because the kid is hearing disrespectful talk and seeing disrespectful behaviour between his parents . 😖

        Possibly, or its part of his development issue. its hard to tell. They keep saying they are seeking help with them, but ever time I ask they seem to be waiting for something.
